CSF: Christian Singles Fellowship

Christian Singles Fellowship (CSF) is designed to meet the needs of career-minded adults. Understanding your interests and needs, our aim is to bring the truth of God's Word to bear upon every aspect of your life in relevant, practical, and encouraging ways.

We meet on Sunday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 PM.

We were hosted by Chapelgate Presbyterian Church as CCF from 1985 to 2007, but now we are independent and have changed our name.

Location

We currently meet at Crossroads Church of the Nazarene in Ellicott City. (directions)

About the Ministry

Our format includes a time of singing and listening to God's Word, followed by fellowship and refreshments. An active network of small groups provides a further avenue of study and interaction.

The age range is mostly 40's and 50's with a few older and a few in their 30's.

Mission Statement

Christian Singles Fellowship is a Christ-centered, Bible-based ministry to Christian singles in the Baltimore-Washington area.

Purpose

Our purpose is to provide a spiritual environment where Christian singles may praise and worship the Lord, hear and practice the Word through Christian ministry, and fellowship with one another through informal services and wholesome activities. Christian Singles Fellowship encourages single adults to realize their unique value and gifts.

Statement of Faith

We Believe....

...in the divinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

...that the perfect Jesus was born into a sinful human world, lived a sinless human life, died a martyr's death on the cross, and was resurrected to life again on the third day.

...that God gave His Son, Jesus Christ, as a Sacrifice for our sins and works through us with the power of the Holy Spirit.

....that Christ's earthly death, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven is the only payment for our sins and the only hope for eternal life with God for everyone who puts their trust in Him for salvation.

....that human kind is in a sinful state and is in need of the grace of Jesus and forgiveness of sins.

...that God accepts all those who believe in Christ, ask for forgiveness of sins, and willingly receive the free gift of salvation through faith.

....that Jesus is coming again.

....that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the final authority for all Christians.

...that all areas of life are grounded in a Biblical perspective and that the indwelling and guidance of the Holy Spirit help us to understand and do God's will as revealed through Scripture and prayer.

...that we should celebrate Christian disciplines such as prayer, Bible study, fellowship with other believers, and service.
